context_page_description: The Mercedes-Benz W210 was the internal designation for a range of executive cars manufactured by Mercedes-Benz and marketed under the E-Class model name in both sedan/saloon and station wagon/estate configurations. W210 development started in 1988, three years after the W124's introduction.
  The W210 was designed by Steve Mattin under design chief Bruno Sacco between 1989 and 1991 after being previewed on the 1993 Coupé Concept shown at the Geneva Auto Show in March 1993. The W210 was the first Mercedes-Benz production car featuring Xenon headlamps.
